Your Windows 11 experience appears to be worse than mine, which I would not describe as good. Windows 10 was almost tolerable, and I actually liked some earlier versions. Now I get a recurring bar in Outlook asking me if I want to summarize my email for the day, which comes back no matter how often I close it. I don't even try to use the start menu anymore, just type in what I want to use. Microsoft products are so bad these days that I can't see how they expect people to pay once, let alone monthly.
Yeah windows 10 was fine for me, and I really liked 7 and XP generally speaking. It really feels like 11 is constant obstacles and harassment from Microsoft. Maybe that's because I'm more of a "power user" but I can't imagine a normal person enjoying the experience
Yeah, i could have lived without most of the stuff added to Win10 from Win7, which was probably the pinnacle of Windows versions. WinXP was also a real game-changer - the power of NT with the user-friendliness and compatibility of Win98SE.
